<h1 id="variation-glossary">Variation Glossary</h1>
|

|

|

<p>This document includes definitions and descriptions of terms used by NCBI's Variation resources. It includes <a href="http://www.sequenceontology.org/">Sequence Ontology (SO)</a> terms, variation reporting terms, and descriptions of VCF file tags.</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p><span>NCBI Variation Resources in collaboration with the </span><a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/">European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI)</a><span> standardize the descriptions of the type of variant, the molecular effect of the variant, and the location of the variant relative to other annotated features based on the ontology established by</span><a href="http://www.sequenceontology.org/"> Sequence Ontology (SO)</a><span>, particularly terms treed under </span><a href="http://www.sequenceontology.org/browser/current_release/term/SO:0001059">sequence alteration</a><span>. When concepts required by NCBI are not represented in SO, we request them from SO.</span></p>

|
||
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="clinical-channel">Clinical Channel</h2>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>Clinical channel used to indicate clinical variation submissions to dbSNP. They included variations from locus-specific databases (LSDB), genetic testing laboratories, our collaboration with <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/refseq/rsg/lrg/">LRG</a>, and our processing of <a href="http://www.omim.org/">OMIM</a>'s allelic variants. It used to also apply to submissions that included a phenotype report or that were submitted as a result of any gene-specific curation process. This term has been obsoleted, and was never an indication of medical impact or clinical significance. It was replaced by a link to <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/">ClinVar</a> to indicate that there are clinical data available for the variation. </p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="clinical-significance">Clinical Significance</h2>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>Clinical significance is an assessment of the effect of an allele, haplotoype or genotype on a clinical phenotype. Terms include interpretations of pathogenicity, risk, and responses to drugs. For more details, refer to <a href="/clinvar/docs/clinsig/">Clinical significance in ClinVar.</a></p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="clinvar-vcf-files">ClinVar VCF Files</h2>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>Data files in the VCF format generated by ClinVar to report on human variations with clinical assertions that have been mapped to both GRCh37 and GRCh38. They are vailable at the ClinVar FTP repository <a href="https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/clinvar/">ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/clinvar/</a>. </p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p><a href="/variation/docs/ClinVar_vcf_files">ClinVar VCF Files </a>currently represent all variants with precise endpoints, that have been reported to ClinVar.</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>ClinVar VCF files are allele-specific - each row represents a single allele at that position, rather than one row per rs number as in the dbSNP VCF files.</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p><span id="common"></span></p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="common">COMMON</h2>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>Common is a category of variants representing alleles observed in the germline with a minor allele frequency (<a href="#MAF">MAF</a>) of >=0.01 in at least one 1000 Genomes Phase III <a href="/variation/docs/glossary_populations#major_population"> major population</a>, with at least two individuals from different families having the same minor allele. <span>COMMON is a category (tag) used in the <strong>dbSNP VCF Files</strong>. </span></p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>Common may also include alleles with an evidence of medical interest. <span>The definition of COMMON may be based on only one population from the major populations .</span><span> These major populations may or may not include the population you are studying. A</span><span>n allele shown to be COMMON in one of the major populations </span><span>may not be common in all populations.</span></p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<h1 id="dbsnp-vcf-files">dbSNP VCF Files</h1>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>Data files in the VCF format generated by dbSNP to report on human variations without clinical assertions that have been mapped to both GRCh37 and GRCh38. They are vailable at the dbSNP FTP repository <a href="https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/latest_release/VCF/">ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/latest_release/VCF/</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>dbSNP <a href="/variation/docs/human_variation_vcf">human VCF files </a> represent all variants that have been submitted to dbSNP.</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="de-novo"><em>de novo</em></h2>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p><em>de novo</em> is a novel variation present for the first time in one family member as a result of a mutation in a germ cell of one of the parents, or a mutation that arises itself in the fertilized egg during early embryogenesis.</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>NCBI Variation resources report that a variation is of <em>de novo </em>origin in the following cases: (1) reported explicitly from a submitter, (2) inferred from the study because even though not observed in parents, it was observed in all tissues of the body of the proband. The evidence of occurrence in siblings is not necessary, since the event may not have occurred in parental germ cells. The assumption is that variations arising <em>de novo</em> are transmissible.</p>

<h2 id="functional-consequence">Functional consequence</h2>
|
||
|
||
|

<p>Functional consequence is an observed effect of a sequence change on function. Ontologies such as <a href="http://www.variationontology.org/">VariO</a> and <a href="http://www.sequenceontology.org/index.html">Sequence Ontology (SO)</a> are used to standardize terms, which are documented here: <a href="https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/GTR/standard_terms/functional_consequence.txt">ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/GTR/standard_terms/functional_consequence.txt.</a> As used by NCBI's resources, functional consequence is experimentally determined, in contrast to molecular consequence, which is computed from sequence annotation.</p>

<h2 id="germline">Germline</h2>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>Term used for representing the source of, and thus the heritability of a variation. Direct confirmation of derivation from the parental germline is possible in the case of sperm analysis of father or preimplantation genetic diagnosis (as part of assisted reproductive technologies). An acceptable proxy for direct evidence that a variation is of germline origin is the analysis of parental somatic tissue. Indirect evidence can be provided from the presence of the variant or the allele in siblings, particularly if the variant is rare in a population. Variation resources report that a variation is of germline origin when the submitter explicitly reports that the variation is of germline origin or an associated study infers that the variation is of germline origin based on observations in a pedigree consistent with inheritance.</p>

<h2 id="minor-allele-frequency-maf">Minor Allele Frequency (MAF)</h2>

|

<p>MAF is the frequency of the minor allele. MAF is often reported in the context of allele frequencies established by the 1000 Genomes and other large sequencing projects. When there are more than two lleles, MAF refers to the <strong>second</strong> most frequent allele.</p>

<p>Molecular consequence represents effects on protein products from the alterations in the coding nucleotide sequence.

<h3 id="locationbased-ontology-terms">Location-based Ontology Terms</h3>

<p>Location-based Ontology Terms are assigned to a variant whenever any part of its deletion interval (per the representation of variants that considers them to be pairs of deletion and insertion intervals on a sequence) overlaps one of the Gene, RNA Feature or Coding regions (see illustration below). If the variant overlaps more than one region or, if multiple transcripts are involved (as would be the case when the region is relative to a genomic location), all relevant SO terms are reported, in no particular order.</p>
